The Roswell Report: Fact versus Fiction in the New Mexico Desert was published by Headquarters United States Air Force in 1995. The Black Vault distributes this copy. It reproduces the report by Col. Richard L. Weaver and the synopsis by 1st Lt. James McAndrew, both written after a General Accounting Office inquiry requested by Representative Steven Schiff. The Air Force search found no evidence of an extraterrestrial craft or crew. It concluded that the Roswell debris most likely came from NYU Flight No. 4, a Project MOGUL balloon train.

Figure 24. Comparison of pressure head across partially and fully inflated balloons.
Thus, the relationship is:
$$
Q \propto A \sqrt {\Delta Z}
$$
$$
Q \propto V ^ {\frac {2}{3}} \sqrt {V ^ {\frac {1}{3}}} \propto V ^ {\frac {5}{6}}
$$
Since the density of the lifting gas is constant, we may then express mass leakage as:
$$
L \propto V ^ {\frac {5}{6}}
$$
And then, to compare leakage of a full balloon with leakage of a balloon $ \frac{1}{x} $ full:
$$
L _ {F} = L _ {\frac {1}{X}} (X) ^ {\frac {5}{6}}
